Show Updates:

Welcome to our new Bulgarian, Russian, and Swedish listeners who joined us this past week!  That gives us 

listeners from 16 different countries!

We went a little long last week. Wanted to make sure we were thorough. We’ll try to tighten it up a little 

bit this week.  Or should we not worry? Let us know what you think!

Continuing to get support and kind words from @sabbathbloodypc on Twitter -- check his show out if you

Mike Ladano (who has a great music blog at mikeladano.com, @MikeLadano on Twitter) had a nice back and 

forth about his review on the Deep Purple - In Rock (Anniversary Edition).  Check it out at

More listener feedback: Who are we? Where do we come from?  What’s our story?

People want to know what we’re all about and honestly, it never occurred to me that anyone would care.
